The best laid plans of Mice and Men...
"Ah...another one!" was my exact reaction to our man Arjun's proposal. I firmly believe that no one can become successful in the true sense, on borrowed capability. With all due respect to those who will be (that's right WILL be) selected via reservations to the IITs/IIMs... "You just ain't got it son!"
To be successful at anything you need more than an opportunity; you need talent, determination and most importantly you need to believe that you belong. And those who get in through back doors never feel at home. We all know what the intentions are behind reservations, so there is no need to write it here. One must only remember that, in the long run, only those who deserve to succeed, will.
On a more practical note, those appearing for entrance tests need not worry, IITs might increase intake (already there is talk of adding 200 seats).

It had to happen eventually. The quota system had to creep into the sanctum sanctorum of the II Ts and Ms. The only chance for the open category to spot the silver lining in this dark cloud would be to dress up in fig leaves, hold a bamboo and insist on ansering interview questions with a winning "ooga mooga"...ofcourse ,some deft will need to be performed to get a Backward Adaman tribal stamped under "caste" on your certificate :)
Tch tch... what a insensitive post.
And an even more insensitive comment!
